Here's a breakdown:
* Verb: The action word in a sentence.
* Object noun: The noun that the verb acts upon.
Example:
* Sentence: The dog chased the ball.
* Verb: chased
* Object noun: ball (The dog is doing the chasing, and the ball is being chased.)
More examples:
* She read the book. (The book is being read.)
* They built a house. (The house is being built.)
* He ate the pizza. (The pizza is being eaten.)
Important Note: Not all sentences have object nouns. Some sentences have a verb that doesn't act on anything directly, for example, "The sun shines."
